We’ve got 10 out injured at the moment hopefully we might get some back for Sunday, no excuses just fact.

Up the Trin

Agree but some of those injured aren’t breaking any pots at this present time so the 17 we put on the park should be fit and raring to go. You’ve got tupou and fifita who aren’t a patch on their old selves for whatever reasons so far ,but then again you’ve got Westerman leading from the front as well as arona . Should be a cracking match and if we throw the kitchen sink at them they are going to tire at some point, and we need to take advantage of this if we are to come away with the points.We will find out soon enough if we are up for the fight .

Tupou and Fifita are injured see if they play this week

Re: Shudd pivot : Tue May 18, 2021 7:12 am  

Don't think Fifita has any chance of playing got a cracked rib if info is correct

Re: Shudd pivot : Tue May 18, 2021 7:18 am  

who are the 10

Re: Shudd pivot : Tue May 18, 2021 7:25 am  

Johnstone
Wood x2
Crowther
Croft
Miller
Fifita
Walker
Hampshire
Tupou

That's 10, not sure how many will miss the next game but a few are tenuous, Walker, Croft given they would be unlikely to play anyway.

Let’s hope with HKR winning at Cas they have burnt themselves out for this Sunday

KR have improved massively this season.
Like Huddersfield they have taken a few weeks to get going but, right now, they are significantly better then us.
Smith has done a great job as coach wherever he has been, Huddersfield, Leeds, Wire and now KR all improved under his stewardship.
It's taken a while and he gambled like hell a couple of seasons back, with a lot of youngsters but, it seems to be working now.

Unfortunately some of the players who are injured, weren't doing it for us anyway, so I don't think they would make much difference if they were available.
I think Miller, Hampshire and Johnstone are the ones were really miss. Why did we let BJB go! - sure he had another season in him!
The team need a lift so lets hope with a crowd behind them they respond !

Re: Shudd pivot : Tue May 18, 2021 8:26 am  

We didn't, he chose to leave I think

Fifita and tupou were the ones I were referring to as injured but not playing to their potential before their accidents so far this season ,for whatever reason . These are the seasoned pro’s in the team and should be doing what Westerman and Arona are doing and leading the team by example

Re: Shudd pivot : Tue May 18, 2021 8:32 am  

Think we offered really low so he walked. Had we been a bit more realistic and not signed a winger and brought one on loan we probably could have afforded the wages and may have had some spare to spend elsewhere. I like Lino but apart from that our recruitment has been dire.
